Abstract
Abstract A method for segment of one marketing to a customer utilizes an automated teller machine (ATM). The ATM dispenses to the customer a receipt containing a transaction record, a promotion, and a telephone number for redeeming the promotion by the customer. When the customer calls the telephone number, a telephonic survey is conducted and includes questions relating to products and services offered by a marketeer. Answers to the survey questions are stored in a customer profile in a computer database, and the promotion is sent to the customer. The customer profile is used to generate a segment of one target message specific to the customer which offers a specific product or service from the marketeer based on the stored customer profile. The target message is then sent to the specific customer to complete the segment of one marketing.
